Description
Social media harassment is about more than words. It is violence and it is dangerous. We’ve witnessed a lot of ugliness during these polarizing and pandemic times, and a lot of it has been directed at women, particularly women of colour. As cyber misogyny has increased steadily, so have challenges to the notion that women’s online harassment is a matter of specific and particular concern. But in fact, ramifications impact everyone and the facts are black and white. Women are harassed more than men and the violence carries discriminatory harm that becomes rooted in our history. Shree Paradkar, The Star’s race and gender columnist, joins “This Matters” to discuss.
